More about the webcam:


How the images get from my home, to you…


1. The image from my Sony camcorder goes into my WinTV GO! Capture card.

2. Webcam32 software takes a JPEG snap every 5 seconds.

3. The jpeg is uploaded via ftp to the USA on Geocities free web host.

4. The Java applet at the user end, reloads the image every 5 seconds, and you see the image.


This is a slow, but simple method, but its fine for me!!! ;-)

Other notes:


Sometimes when you go back to the webcam page after a previous visit, your browser will use the cached version on your HDD, this is useless! If the clock is at the same time for > 1 min, hit reload or refresh… remember, the clock time is GMT (UK time).
